Thomas Aldrieh and the Governor.


An exchange tells the following story Of a
New Hampshire boy out for sport with a
gun. He rambled along looking for game
when he saw chaise approaching, driven
by the governor of the state. The little lad,
while considerably awed by finding himself
alone with SO august parsonage, was, how
ever, equal to the occasion. AS the chaise
reached him he stood aside to let it pass and
gravely presented arms. The governor at
once pulled up his horse and looked with
amusement at the little fellow standing there
as serious as a sentry, with his gun held
rigidly before him. "What is your name9"
asked the governor. Thomas Bailey AL
drich," replied the boy, with military sa-
lutte. He was invited into the chaise, and
though he lost his shooting, what was that in
comparison with the distinction of riding
into Portsmouth town with Governor Wood
bury? This was forty years ago, and since
then Thomas Aldrich has earned place
among the foremost of American authors.

The Diving Bell.

The diving bell was first used on the coast of
Null 200 years ago. in looking for the wrecks
of the Spanish Armada. Improvements were
made by Stanley, who was the first man to
reach sea bottom. Smeaton, builder of the
Eddystone lighthouse, first applied the con-
densing pump for forcing air down to the
diver. The Royal George, an English man
of-war, which sank off Plymouth in 1882 was
discovered by diver in 1877. The first, and
so far as we know the only. lady to 90 down
in a diving bell was the wife of Capt. Morris,
of Plymouth, who made a descent few years
ago.

Hanging Baskets,

The starting Of hanging baskets Of vines
and flowers for piazzas and windows is now
in order. There are many beautiful fancy
baskets and vases provided, but the old
fashioned, half round wire basket, lined with
moss, the green side out, is as attractive as
any. This same moss, from the woods, is
very valuable for covering the surface of the
basket after it is filled with plants; it is also
useful in the same way for out door vases
The moss acts as a mulch and prevents the
rapid drying of the soil that would otherwise
take place.

Furniture Polish.

The subjoined simple preparation is recon-

ing old furniture: Over a moderate fire put
a perfectly clean vessel. Into this drop two
ounces of white or yellow wax. When melted,
add four ounces pure turpentine; then stir
until cool. when it is ready for use. The
mixture brings out the original color of the
wood, adding luster equal to that of var

it may, when it fades, be removed.

Oyster Gardens in North Carolins.
